a bou t u s

Since 1995, Fort Worth Weekly has provided a vibrant alternative to North Texas’ often-timid mainstream media outlets by offering incisive, irreverent reportage that keeps readers well informed and the powers-that-be worried. The Weekly’s editorial staff may have more decorations per capita than any newsroom in the country: one Pulitzer Prize and George Polk Award for courageous reporting, plus numerous awards from the Houston and Dallas press clubs, the State Bar, National Women’s Political Caucus, Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, and Investigative Reporters and Editors. The Weekly makes a difference. Our stories have helped expose the corruption that brought down MCI Worldcom, sparked investigations of an alleged high-society pedophile, and helped victims of human trafficking, corporate racism, and government-sanctioned pollution receive justice.

Our Readers Median Age – 39 Male – 52% Female – 48%

60,000 copies of the Weekly are distributed throughout Tarrant County including Fort Worth, Arlington, the Mid Cities, Southlake, Colleyville, and Grapevine, reaching 130,000 readers every week. 2,000 Distribution points in high traffic areas like:

Attended College or Post Graduate Studies – 72% Single – 58.7% Married – 40.5%
